More about this scene
Woburn Sands, right on the Bedfordshire border and bleeding across it, grew up when the railway arrived in 1846; its delightful station in Tudor cottage style is on the Bedford to Bletchley junction line. This view looks along the High Street, with Hardwick Road to the left. The war memorial-cum-clock tower has been relocated away from the more recent roundabouts at the junction to a safer location further up the High Street beside the 1874 Institute. The Swan still thrives, now mostly clad in painted weatherboarding.
